George Thorogood (born February 24, 1950) is an American blues rock vocalist/guitarist from Wilmington, Delaware, United States, known for his hit song “Bad to the Bone” as well as for covers of blues standards such as Hank Williams’ “Move It On Over” and John Lee Hooker’s “House Rent Boogie/One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer”. Another favorite is a cover of Bo Diddley’s “Who Do You Love?”.
George Thorogood and the Delaware Destroyers have released sixteen studio albums, including two that were certified Platinum and six that have been certified Gold. The band has sold fifteen million albums worldwide. The band is credited with the early success of Rounder Records.
Thorogood’s demo, Better Than the Rest, was recorded in 1974 and released in 1979. In 1976 he recorded his debut album: George Thorogood & The Destroyers with his band, The Destroyers (sometimes known as The Delaware Destroyers or simply GT and D) and issued the album in 1977. Thorogood released his next album titled Move It On Over in 1978 with The Destroyers, which included the Hank Williams remake “Move It On Over”. “Please Set a Date” and their remake of the Bo Diddley song “Who Do You Love?” both followed in 1979.
Thorogood gained his first mainstream exposure as a support act for The Rolling Stones during their 1981 U.S. tour. He also was the featured musical guest on Saturday Night Live (Season 8, Episode 2) on the October 2, 1982 broadcast.
This increased visibility occurred as Thorogood’s contract with Rounder Records expired. He signed with EMI America Records and in 1982 released his best-known song, “Bad to the Bone”, and an album of the same name. “Bad to the Bone” was used for the 1984 Buick Grand National advertisements. Thorogood’s version of “Who Do You Love?” is played in all Samuel Adams beer commercials.
Thorogood played a set at the Live Aid concert in Philadelphia, PA on July 13, 1985.
In 2012, he was named one of The 50 Most Influential Delawareans of the Past 50 Years – The above text edited and snipped from his Wikipedia Entry.
In 1978, George Thorogood was just beginning to make some noise on the blues-rock circuit. This was his second album, and what’s now almost a cliché then sounded fresh and vital. Thorogood’s energy, rousing vocals and driving guitar playing came roaring through on inspired covers of Elmore James’ “The Sky Is Crying,” Bo Diddley’s “Who Do You Love” and Chuck Berry’s “It Wasn’t Me.” He even did a credible Piedmont blues on Brownie McGhee’s “So Much Trouble.” While Thorogood went on to make more commercially succesful albums, the spirit and innocence in his early releases has seldom been duplicated. This Rounder (SA)CD reissue returns him to a simpler, and in some ways superior, period.
